Cooling System
The AJ28 engine retains the same basic cooling
system as the previous V8 engines but shares the
radiator, fan shroud assembly, de-gas circuit and
bottom hose oil cooler circulator features with the
V6. The coolant specified for the V6 is also
applicable to the V8 engine.
Particular features of the AJ28 cooling system are:
¥ The thermostat is located in the engine
mounted housing as in previous V8 engines.
¥ The thermostat housing is modified with an
extra stub pipe for the new heater returnhose.
¥ The throttle adaptor is heated from the main
cooling system to provide throttle de-icing.
¥ Both heater hoses, feed and return, are now
routed forward to the heater control valve.
¥ An electric pump is fitted in the heater
coolant circuit (ÔS-TYPE IntroductionÕ
Technical Guide).
¥ The coolant reservoir (de-gas bottle) is fitted
with a level sensor which provides a low level
warning on the instrument panel message
